We’ve looked at the GSP 500 and 600 but today, we’re reviewing the most exciting option yet: the GSP 550. It follows the 500’s open-ear design and includes Dolby 7.1 surround sound, but for $249 is it worth the price of entry?Posted Nov 1, 2018 by Christopher Coke

Razer’s got a long line of headsets, many of which we’ve reviewed here at MMORPG.com. But one thing they’ve never really done is create a solution geared towards streaming – and that’s just what the Razer Ifrit aims to fix. This low-profile headset is intended to be used while streaming, but truthfully, it’s a good fit for anyone that wants a low-weight and inobtrusive headset.Posted Oct 31, 2018 by William Murphy

We’re back again, with another affordable gaming tablet. This time we have the Alldocube M5S on the review bench.

At only $130 on AliExpress, it’s definitely worth a look.Posted Oct 30, 2018 by Christopher Coke

Another day, another Cooler Master chassis review. But unlike previous reviews we are going big. Bigger than the 360mm AIO review. Larger than the delicious H500M chassis sneak peak. We got our hands on the feature rich, full-tower, case of the year: the Cooler Master Cosmos C700M. Check out our review of this beastly, and pricey, case.Posted Oct 25, 2018 by Robert Baddeley

Nvidia’s RTX 2070 presents an interesting dilemma for those looking to adopt the new Turing GPUs. On one hand, it boasts some pretty impressive specs for a card that lists a suggested retail price of $499 on some models. On the other hand, the namesake feature of the card - Ray Tracing - isn’t really testable right now. And with the 2070 having less Ray Tracing power than its 2080 and 2080ti counterparts, it’s hard to know exactly whether grabbing one of these cards provides decent bang for your buck.
